INVESTIGATING THE POWER IN FREIGHT TRANSPORT COMMUNICATION NETWORK STRUCTURE

The business of freight transportation is undergoing a technological revolution at it moves toward the 21st century. New technologies are being developed and adopted in each mode of freight transportation. The one technology that affects all modes is information technology. Information technology related to the coordination of logistics and supply chain management, has the capability of affecting all the modes in a similar way. This technology in the form of electronic data interchange has begun to automate, and reduce the costs of, paper flow required to move goods from shippers, through carriers and transfer points, to consignees. Surveys of the freight transportation industry indicate that the adoption of EDI has not been nearly universal in any dimension. The paper investigates the structure of the communication system used for transport supply chain.POWER electronic commerce freight transport network structure

Application of Transaction Costs to Choice of Transport Corridors

Fundamental changes suggest new approaches in the research field concerning the role and impacts of transport corridors. We argue that the changes in dynamics of the hinterlands of seaports, as well as the changes in the logistic concepts are the main reasons for redefining the transport corridors. Traditionally, the transport rates and transport costs have been used as relevant determinants of the decisions concerning the use of corridors. In practice, however, direct monetary costs do not basically determine the relative attractiveness of the transport corridor. In this paper the authors will introduce qualitatively determined transaction costs as additional determinants when analyzing the decision problem concernedtransaction costs transport corridors electronic commerce

The Spanish Folksong in New Mexico

Their descendants and the descendants of the settlers who came north from Mexico clung to the precedent established by their ancestors; they sang old songs, composed new ones, and passed them down to their children by word of mouth transmission. In this study an attempt has been made to trace briefly the development of the song in its various forms, from the sixteenth century to the present day canción de amor. There is many a hiatus, since as in the case of all oral lore, so much has been lost, and written records are few
